What do you use for blade conditioning??

[Eric Isaacson]

Hello,
If you remember I just got my Sebenza and have read the FAQ at the Reeve site. I see about the special grease but what about the blade. I thought I read somewhere WD40, is Tuf-cloth ok for the blade. What should I use to keep the blade in good condition?

WD-40 or tuff cloth is OK.

They are stainless so wipe them down as you see fit, but otherwise you don't have to worry about them rusting too much.

For the pivot, CRK has their own fluorinated grease (in a syringe). I use "Tuf-cloth" on the blade surface.

I occasionally rub the blade with my finger or rinse it in the faucet. Every 2 months or so, I take the knife apart and give it a thorough cleaning.
